Another cool rod out the door. This one is a 31" gnarly noodle, rubberised grips, piscifun carbon-x reel all set up and ready to put some slabs topside! Very happy how it turned out.
What started out as a hobby for building rods for myself and a couple buddies has somehow grown into building rods for friends of friends!
So this page is just an easier way for everybody to get ahold of me and see some of the rods I have built.

Here at KJ's custom rods our R&D team is working long hours on a Sunday to make sure we get everything just right. William recruited me this morning to test out a new rod to make sure it was to his liking. Thankfully, he approves! So back to the wrapping table I go to tie some more rods!

If anybody is looking for a rod that's ready to hit the ice I have one for sale! 36" gnarly noodle with rubberised split grip and a 13 fishing maverick free fall spooled with fresh 2lb flouro line. Awesome pairing for panfish. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pm you a price!

Finished a bunch of rods the past couple weeks. Hoping to get on the ice this week and put a few personal builds, including this 25" ultralight, to work. I started building grips this year to further customize each rod. Love the way this one turned out! Get ahold of me if you're looking for something to put some fish topside this winter!

Look who's back! Been a minute since I've made a post here but it's getting to be the best time of the year. Ice rod building has begun and I'm ready to hit the hardwater! I've got a handful of rods ready to go out the door, if you're in the market for one get a hold of me and I'll get you hooked up 🎣

Joe and Chelsea Holman hammered a nice mess of gills this weekend. The v-line gnarly noodle and v-line high class ho**er blanks have been a hit so far!

Aeric Mcgarry put a hurt on some dandy gills with a 36" gnarly noodle. These big gills were no match for the sensitive tip and heavy backbone of the gnarly noodle!

Chris Sellers put the 30" finesse noodle to work on a mixed limit of dandy gills and specs this morning. The light bite was no match for the extra sensitive tip on the finesse noodle. Good work Chris!

Got out for awhile today and tested a new build. This one is on a deadstick that is built by vline. Gotta say I'm in love! The quality of the blank is awesome. I think I'll be making the switch and building more rods on vline blanks. And look at the color! I'm not sure what's brighter, the orange on the rod or the orange on that pumpkin seeds belly 😍

Look who's back! Time to knock the dust off and get some work done. Stripping down a rainshadow rx7 center pin set up and changing it up for a good friend of mine. Then it's on to ice rods!

He guys. If you have an Instagram go over and check out my new page. I'll be posting more rod builds and fish pictures over there!

Put the 36" BK panfish noodle to the test today! 17" largemouth put it through its paces. Ended up with a nice batch of gills that are going to hit the oil tonight
